Carnivorous plants in Unalaska.
Carnivorous plants in Unalaska.

So this is just one of the carnivorous plants that you can find in Unalaska.  The teensy, tiny little Sundew.  You typically find these plants perched on top of its host plant, a mound of sphagnum moss, in very moist, wet areas.  It eats bugs that it traps,  kind of like the Venus Fly Trap.  The Unangax used the plant to relieve nausea.

I am having a bit of trouble readjusting my schedule after having added the Unalaska Biggest Winner to my plate.  Blogging was the loser for a couple of days.  I am working it out.

My Christmas present from Char bloomed…

We all got amaryllis plants from Cousin Char for Christmas.    We are all amazed at how fast they grew.  Caleb and my Dad are pondering over why vegetables don’t grow that fast. 

Pretty gorgeous!

My plant ended up with 5 flowers.  Thanks, Char!!

We had fun watching the daily progress. Now aren't we boring!
